The Poser pro 11 tutorial lesson "lighting part 1" demonstrated a figures shadow moving as a newly created spot light is moved. However, when I try to recreate this, I have a ground shadow directly below the figure that moves when I move the figures arms but the ground shadow doesn't move when I move the spot light. The shadow light camera appears to be directly over the figure and it doesn't move when I move the spot light. How do I associate the shadow light camera with the spot light so they at the same point in space and move together? I am running Poser Pro 11.3.818 on a windows 10 machine..

Just to check, do you have your preview set to openGL?

The shadow light camera should move when you move the associated light, but the light will not move when you move the camera. Make sure you have selected the light either in drop down menu top left document window or by clicking on it in the lights pallet and then select the correct shadow cam from the cameras pallet (eg select light 1 and shadow cam 1). Now if you move the light the camera should move

I have a "Light 1" but only have a "Shadow cam light 4" I have a ground shadow if I select "ground shadows" or "ground + hardware shadows" I don't have any shadows if I only have "hardware shadows" selected The shading on the figure changes as I move "light 1" but the figure doesn't cast a shadow beyond the figure.
